Great taste. I put splenda in a cup, brew a tdisk into it then pour over a large glass of ice, instant sweet tea. I LOVE this tea. It makes the best home brewed iced tea in 2 minutes.
OK, let's get down to brass tacks - this is a great tea, produced by a great company, and is my all-time favorite. If you want a wonderful smelling and tasting black tea, then Earl Grey is for you. Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, Second Earl Grey (1764-1845), and is a mixture of black tea and oil of bergamot (a small acidic orange).
Also, while sugar goes well with this tea, I have found that milk dilutes the bergamot too much, and lemon completely hides the bergamot which is the reason for drinking it. If you want tea from a great tea producer, them Twinings is for you. That's my review.
Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. But, a couple of words of warning - don't over-steep the tea, or it will quickly become bitter and unpalatable. If you want a nectareous drink, then buy Twinings' Earl Grey tea.
It is said that Earl Grey learned the recipe of this delicious tea from a Chinese Mandarin and brought it home to England, where it has been a favorite ever since. The tea produced has a wonderful aroma, and an excellent taste.
